Error while "Building wxWidgets" for FileZilla compilation: configure: error: X11 not found, please use --x-includes and/or --x-libraries options


I am trying to compile FileZilla3 in my Windows system by exactly following this.

In the MSys2 terminal, everything works fine till "Building SQLite"

In "Building wxWidgets", the steps mentioned are:

cd ~
git clone --branch WX_3_0_BRANCH --single-branch https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets.git wx3
cd wx3
./configure --prefix="$HOME/prefix" --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-unicode --enable-printfposparam --without-libtiff --without-libjpeg --with-expat=builtin --with-libpng=builtin
make && make install

When I execute the third step, i.e.

./configure --prefix="$HOME/prefix" --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-unicode --enable-printfposparam --without-libtiff --without-libjpeg --with-expat=builtin --with-libpng=builtin

I get the error:

configure: error: X11 not found, please use --x-includes and/or --x-libraries options (see config.log for details)

The complete output of the configure command is:

./configure --prefix="$HOME/prefix" --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-unicode --enable-printfposparam --without-libtiff --without-libjpeg --with-expat=builtin --with-libpng=builtin

I get the same error on trying out any of these 2 also:

./configure --prefix="$HOME/prefix" --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-unicode --enable-printfposparam --without-libtiff --without-libjpeg --with-expat=builtin --with-libpng=builtin --x-includes=/mingw64/include/X11

Kindly help


Solution

  • You seem to be running configure from "msys" subsystem of MSYS2 which is a POSIX-like system not meant to be used for compilation.

    You should launch mingw64.exe or mingw32.exe instead to build native MSW software using MinGW and then configure should work just fine there.
